NCT06086535 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 63

Last updated 2025-11-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery by minithoracomy present severe acute postoperative pain. Cryoanalgesia of the intercostal nerves and BRILMA block can provide a solution for this postoperative pain. The main aim of this study is to compare the postoperative analgesia provided by BRILMA block and intercostal nerve cryoanalgesia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery by minitoractomia.

Conditions

  • Post Operative Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Intercostal nerve cryoanalgesia vs BRILMA blockade

For BRILMA block, 0.4 ml/kg of 0.3% ropivacaine will be injected and a catheter will be placed on the 4th intercostal space after surgery. For intercostal nerve cryoanalgesia an external cryogenizer system will be used during surgery
